Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC) offers superior color performance and substantially reduced ghosting and flare. Close focusing distance to 1.3 feet throughout the entire zoom range. Rounded 7-blade diaphragm for more natural appearance of out-of-focus image elements. Picture angle equivalent to focal length of 24-127.5mm (in 35mm format) |

Comments about Nikon 16-85mm AF-S DX NIKKOR f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens:
I considered buying the Nikon D7000 with the normal one or two "lens outfit" but decided on this lens instead. I am glad I did. The 16-85 mm focla length is useful for everthing from portraits to landscape photography and is clear and sharp at both the low end and the high end focal lengths.
